Rebirth of the Republic of China: The Rise of China

Far East Granary

Annihilating 2 Soviet Red Army, facing the bloody corpses of Red Army soldiers, the National Defense Forces quickly gathered more than [-] young men full of unwillingness and anger, and immediately succumbed.Under the management of rifles in the hands of the National Defense Forces, dozens of villages were the center, and houses were built with logs.

Of course, during the whole process, the 20 immigrants from the customs were not idle.Just like Lao Maozi, who is young and strong, fight for the homeland where he will live in the future.

After confirming his future residence from the immigration headquarters, he finally arrived at his destination, Wang Youtian in Lake Baikal, and decisively placed his mother and child in a temporary tent to cook for himself and his brother.Then, unwilling to be left behind, he took his two brothers and followed Lao Maozi's logging army to the virgin forest not far away to prepare materials for the house he was about to build.

After a hard day's work, two thick logs that had to be hugged by one person were dragged by horses and sleds back to the temporary tent.After a simple and rich dinner, with the help of the two brothers again, they worked tirelessly to use simple tools to divide the thick logs into planks and use them to build houses...[

After half a month, with the joint efforts of 20 young and old Maozi and tens of thousands of National Defense Forces soldiers.Along the entire shore of Lake Baikal, in front of every tent among the [-] immigrants, there are mountains of various logs and planks...

When tens of 10 people worked hard around Lake Baikal and struggled to build their own homes.The 80 immigrants who traveled to the outside of the customs on their own legs also went to their final destination, Jiangdong 64 Village, which is known as the granary of the Far East.

Unlike Lake Baikal.The Soviets in the entire 64 villages in Jiangdong have been expelled by force of the special warfare division.All returned to the territory of the Soviet Union.At this moment, there are 64 villages in Jiangdong with a radius of thousands of square kilometers.Except for the silent villages, there are all kinds of weeds and fertile land that have been abandoned for several years.

Since Lao Maozi occupied Jiangdong 64 villages and carried out a brutal massacre in Jiangdong 64 villages.The large tracts of fertile land in 64 villages in Jiangdong had to be barren because no one cultivated them.

Looking at the half-person-deep thatch growing around him, a local official who followed the immigrants to Jiangdong No. 64 Tun subconsciously squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil on the land that had begun to melt.

After smelling it.Looking at the deputy beside him, he said excitedly: "After entering the Northeast, I was frightened by the black soil in the three provinces of the Northeast. Because the black soil in the three provinces of the Northeast is so fertile, as long as the seeds are sown, a few months later You can harvest a lot of food. However, after I came to Jiangdong 64 Village, I found that the land here is even more fertile than the three northeastern provinces..."

Later, while continuing to check the soil quality along the way, he said with emotion: "Such a fertile land. Even if only one season of grain can be harvested a year, the output of one mu of land can reach Shandong and other provinces. The 64 villages in Jiangdong in front of us are worthy of The Great Granary of the Far East. Not surprisingly, it won’t take long. This place will become another major food producing area for our National Defense Forces..."

Because the time has come to May, the ice and snow covering the land of the Far East slowly began to melt, and the temperature gradually increased.According to previous estimates.At most one month later, the entire three northeastern provinces.Including the Far East region where I am located, will usher in the best sowing time of the year.

In order to get 80 immigrants out of "government" relief earlier.Reduce the pressure on the coalition "government".The chief executive in charge of these immigrants, together with the Deputy Minister of Civil Affairs of the "government", Hou Yuanbo, who is also the best candidate for the governor of the Far East Province in the future, made a decisive decision that surprised everyone.

"After 80 immigrants entered Jiangdong 64 villages, they quickly dispersed to each village of Jiangdong 5000 villages with 64 people as a unit. Then, the houses and tents left by Lao Maozi were used as temporary gathering places. , "Women", children, and children stayed in their residences to prepare for the construction of villages, towns and cities in the future. All the young adults among the 80 immigrants were scattered around the villages to reclaim wasteland, and strive to reclaim wasteland in 64 villages in Jiangdong within a month. At least 500 million acres of land..."

Facing Vice Minister Hou Yuanbo's order, Deputy Zhou Haoda was the first to raise objections, and reminded with a worried face: "Minister Hou, if we continue to let 80 immigrants live in tents, I am worried that it will cause dissatisfaction among the immigrants. After all, as long as During the two-month trek, 80 immigrants have been living in tents, eating and sleeping in the open. Now that they have finally reached their destination, they are still living in tents, without even a basic home. How can we keep up with the situation? These immigrants go to explain…”

As soon as the words fell, an official who was responsible for keeping track of the mentality changes of 80 immigrants along the way along the way, followed up and said in support: "Minister Hou, after more than two months of wind, food, and sleeping in the open, 80 The thoughts in the minds of Wan Migrants have already changed unconsciously. From their original expectations to the current bleak future. What's more, some immigrants have already had the idea of ​​returning to the original route and returning to the pass."

"It's hard to reach the destination now. If you can't give them a home, let them calm down. I worry that the confidence of these people in our National Defense Forces will once again have a huge impact, and even affect our development of the entire 64 villages in Jiangdong. Affecting the confidence of 80 immigrants..."

Hou Yuanbo didn't answer right away, but asked the subordinate who just spoke in front of him: "Director Zhou, if I don't expect, you must not be from the countryside, and even your parents are not from the countryside. Although You are responsible for understanding the specific mentality changes of 80 immigrants, but you don't really understand what these ordinary people need most..."

Seeing the puzzled people, Hou Yuanbo continued to speak: "For ordinary people, the most important thing is not a home, but land. I don't know if you know anything about the Red Party operating in the south. In the Red Party In the commander's army, ordinary soldiers don't have any military pay at all. Under such circumstances, these troops can win one victory after another on the battlefield, and even die in battle for victory, and the Red Army of the Red Party is like this on the battlefield Earned the title of 'Fearless'...Do you know why?"

Director Zhou Haoda, who had been exposed to some progressive ideas.Under Hou Yuanbo's sharp gaze, he asked thoughtfully, "Minister Hou. Could it be because of the land?"

Hou Yuanbo nodded affirmatively, under everyone's surprised eyes.He replied: "Director Zhou is right, it is for the land... In order to consolidate its rule, the Red Party implemented the same land reform in all areas under its rule as our National Defense Forces, and distributed all the land to ordinary people. Facing the world in their hands The land that can be passed down from generation to generation, in order to protect the property in their hands, these ordinary people took the initiative to join the Red Army of the Red Party, fighting for the Red Party without any military pay..."

After the explanation, Hou Yuanbo continued to ask everyone meaningfully: "Now, everyone thinks that for the hundreds of thousands of people who migrated with us, a house that can be used to shelter from wind and rain is more important, or The land that is allocated to the hands and can be handed down through the ages is important..."

"Of course, if you don't believe what I just said, after the meeting is over, I will find a way to spread my decision and see the specific reactions of the common people..."[

After a few hours.Under the deliberate dissemination of relevant personnel, an astonishing news quickly spread among hundreds of thousands of immigrants.

"The chiefs of the National Defense Forces who lead them are in the midst of arguing over the next action plan for hundreds of thousands of immigrants... Some officials hope to build enough houses for the immigrants in a short period of time. Another part of the officials hope that the immigrants will temporarily live in tents, using In the month before the sowing in the Far East, reclaim wasteland as much as possible. Obtain the land that belongs to the immigrants. Then, in the upcoming sowing season, sow seeds full of hope for the future..."

80 immigrants from the customs have entered the 64 villages in Jiangdong.I was shocked by the fertility of the land under my feet.Then, from the bottom of my heart, I longed to own dozens of acres of such fertile land, sow food, feed my family, and get rid of the history of poverty for myself and my family.

Especially after the snow covering the land of the Far East began to melt, the temperature gradually rose, and the sowing season belonging to the Far East was coming.The desire of these immigrants for the land under their feet is even higher.In their eyes, as long as they can obtain land, they can catch up with this round of planting season, so that their families can get rid of relief as soon as possible and have their own food.

As the saying goes, if you have food in your hands, don't panic in a calamity...

If you can't get your own land before the end of the planting season, it means that you will never get rid of the fate of being rescued for at least the next six months, or even a year.

Although the National Defense Forces had a very good impression of these immigrants, no one could guarantee that the National Defense Forces would continue to provide relief for the next six months, or even a year, after they had provided relief for themselves for two months.Once the National Defense Forces stopped helping him after a few months, and he had no food in his hands, in the desolate Far East, all he could do was wait for death with his family.

Therefore, after the news of the quarrel at the immigration headquarters about the next development direction of 80 immigrants reached their ears.The first thought of these immigrants who are full of eager desire for land is to find the chief of the National Defense Forces in charge and tell him that they would rather live in tents than obtain their own land. Before the sowing season ends, they will plant seeds in their own fields. Plant the seeds of future hope for the whole family...

During the period of the Republic of China when the warlords fought, the Chinese people's desire for land was absolutely from the bottom of their hearts.In the absence of any organization, the immigrants eager to get land quickly gathered in front of the chief of the National Defense Forces who managed them as if they had negotiated, and told the chief of the National Defense Forces that they would rather live in tents than get their land before the end of the planting season. own land.

Soon, the news reached the Immigration Headquarters.

Faced with this news, everyone in the Immigration Headquarters, including Deputy Zhou Haoda, gave Vice Minister Hou Yuanbo a look of admiration.Then, Zhou Haoda, who was the deputy, said with embarrassment: "Minister Hou, you are right. In China, the common people's desire for land has reached an unprecedented level of fanaticism..."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Haoda unexpectedly flashed a fiery look on his face, and said excitedly to Hou Yuanbo: "Minister, if the 80 immigrants really would rather give up building their homes, they should also obtain their own in a short time." Land. That will be of great benefit to our immigration command, as well as to the entire Defense Force..."

"Because several provinces in the Central Plains have been drought for several years. Most of the people who can survive these years are young adults and children. According to statistics, among the 80 immigrants in our hands, young adults accounted for a full 50. Just Even among the remaining 30 people, there are less than 10 elderly people.”

"Under such circumstances, as long as we hurry up, it will be enough to reclaim at least 700 million acres of fertile land on this fertile land before the sowing season comes..."

"At that time, even if the harvest is not good in the first year of sowing, in such a fertile land, one mu of land can harvest at least 700 catties of grain, and the total of 20 million mu of land will add up to more than [-] billion catties of grain.

"With 20 billion catties of food in hand, not only can we easily feed the 80 immigrants in our hands for a year. It can also feed the 100 million immigrants who will continue to migrate to the Far East without any help from the headquarters of the National Defense Forces. At that time, the entire The Far East can get 200 million immigrants from the customs at a minimum cost, and continue to make its own contribution to the development of the Far East.”

Hou Yuanbo nodded noncommittally, and agreed with a smile: "Director Zhou is right. Let the common people allocate land first, and let them open up wasteland to grow food. It will be beneficial to us but only harmful...Since everyone agrees, we will manage The 80 immigrants in the pass also volunteered to open up wasteland first, so I will issue an order..."

Just after everyone's faces slowly returned to seriousness, Hou Yuanbo's voice was full of seriousness.It has already sounded at the headquarters: "Immediately issue the first order of the Immigration Headquarters to all immigrants: All immigrants, with 5000 people as a unit, will be arranged by the Immigration Headquarters. Quickly take Qisu with quite a lot of supplies and tools to go to the Reclaim the land in your own reclamation zone.”

"According to the order of the joint "government": young and middle-aged adults between the ages of 15 and 50. Each person is allocated ten acres of land. The other old and weak are allocated five acres of land. Of all the reclaimed land, the portion that exceeds the land owned by family members. The resettlement headquarters will recycle at the price of five acres of land and one ocean..."

In a suggested shack in the immigration area, a family of five gathered together. According to the order just issued by the immigration headquarters, they looked frantically calculating the land that could be allocated to their family.

Wang Facai, the head of the family in his 40s, said excitedly to his wife, two sons, and a daughter who were sitting in front of him: "Everyone between the ages of 15 and 50 will be allocated ten acres of fertile land. Calculated according to this rule, our family can be allocated 45 acres of fertile land...a total of 45 acres for two days, I, Wang Facai, have never owned so much land since I was born, God is an eye opener, God is an eye opener..."

The father in his 40s is like eating a peach, and he keeps bursting out bursts of excitement.Because the family is too poor, the eldest son, who is in his 20s and still unmarried, said, "Father, not only can our family get 45 acres of fertile land, but we can also earn a lot of money in the next month or so... "[

"The Immigration Headquarters said that in addition to our own 45 acres of land, every five acres of land reclaimed by our family can be exchanged for a piece of ocean from the "government". There are a total of three people in our family who can reclaim the land. How hard it is It’s hard work. On average, one person can reclaim one mu of land a day. There is absolutely no problem. By then, our family will be able to reclaim a full 45 mu of land in a month. Except for the 45 mu of land that belongs to us, the rest [-] acres of land, we can fully exchange nine pieces of ocean from the immigration headquarters..."

"I can earn nine dollars a month..." Although she is only in her 40s, the mother, who looks at least 50 years old at first glance because of her long hours of hard work, has a look of disbelief after listening to her son's analysis asked rhetorically.

You know, since I married into this family, the most I have seen is the five oceans that my husband received as compensation when he was arrested as a young man.But now, his eldest son actually told himself that in just one month, he could earn nine yuan from the immigration headquarters by reclaiming the land...

Facing his wife's surprise, Wang Facai, who had already reacted from the surprise, said firmly, "The eldest son is right. As long as our whole family works hard, there is absolutely no problem in earning nine dollars a month. In addition, The National Defense Forces said that from now until the grain harvest, the National Defense Forces will provide us with the minimum food. At that time, as long as we can earn nine oceans, we can marry our eldest son among hundreds of thousands of immigrants. A good daughter-in-law..."

When it comes to giving his son a daughter-in-law, Wang Facai is even happier than marrying a daughter-in-law himself.Because, under the rule of the National Defense Forces, after the whole family had hope of surviving, Wang Facai, the head of the family who was over half a century old, had already begun to think about raising grandchildren in the future.

Just a day after the Immigration Headquarters issued the order to reclaim the land, puffs of black smoke began to rise from the land of the Far East that could not be seen at a glance.In order to increase the fertility of the land, but also for the convenience of reclaiming the land. The 80 immigrants directly chose the most direct method, using fire to burn the thatch on the ground as high as half a person's depth.

After the 64 villages in Jiangdong, which were completely covered with khaki thatch, were slowly covered by black ash, 80 immigrants from the pass, like hardworking ants, began to reclaim the land with simple tools... (To be continued.. )
